slicehost.com

I have a 512KB slice personally and we also use this professionally in our office. Awesome reliability, slice setup time is < 1 minute, full root access. Great solid solution.

I agree with Jacky, if money is not problem, you should buy FMS, but Red5 is not a bad solution. With current version (0.8 RC2), it is stable enough for a normal streaming application that can handle about more than 500+ concurrent clients.

If your looking for full control of FMS, I recommend influxis.com. I’ve used internap and stream uk in the past and both have ticked me off in the past!! Influxis just worked for me.

Red5 has serious performance problem when publish live stream with audio, but when you just publish video stream, it’s works fine. I have tested about 1000+ client connect to a Red5 server at the same time, everything’s all right.But if with audio, 200+ client can kill the server. Any way, If money is not a problem, FMS is the best choice. Beside, maybe you can also have a look about wowzamedia, it’s more cheaper than FMS and more powerful than Red5.

I’m not good at English, but I’m glad if I can help you. My email is silenceyese@yahoo.com.cn, you can contact to me if you need.

I get the following ping from my linux provider (root access to a linux VM, admin console to change distro, etc)

But I am based in the UK, so that might not be the case everywhere.
